I saw these hats on line at Piper's. I just had to laugh at the big flowers. I decided to try to make one (well not with the huge flowers) and this is what I came up with. Maci Jo is the model. (There is a pattern available now--8/26/09)

An Arabian Proverb

“A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one’s heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.”

About Me

I work with natural fibers of cotton and wool. This includes knitting, quilt making, needle felting, and sewing and yes even crocheting. I am learning a new crochet pattern for a baby afghan from Pat. Just going into a fabric shop and seeing all the wonderful prints is exciting.The myriad of fabrics is delightful. I enjoy all kinds of flowers--flower gardening, painting flowers, pressing flowers, and felting flowers. The out of doors is my favorite place to create. It may be a birdhouse with a succulent covered roof and a rock faced front, tufa pots, or cement leaves or it could be about anything that looks interesting. I like to do journal writing and family history (mostly I like to read and collect the histories and I love the old photographs). I like to read non-fiction and historical fiction. If it's a true story or based on one, I'm interested.

Quilt Quotes----Mama Says-----by Judy Dixon

Never Burn your Bridges

Behind You

I am a collector of quotes. The quote above is from Judy Dixon's quilt which was part of a quilt show at the Springville Art Museum. I loved the quilt and the wit and wisdom contained in the quotes which are things she remembers her mother saying.
